I just spent most of this day reading Maestro because so many on here loved it, but I’ve decided it was not worth it to me. So much heartbreak that could have been avoided with a couple honest conversations. The last full 3rd of the book–and a really bittersweet thing even in the very end– could have been avoided SPOILER ALERT: with a simple paternity test. An 8 pound baby comes 2 months early with a women you have no memory of having sex with…and no one in this successful man’s life–not a manager, not his grandparent… nobody questions this? This was just a bridge too far. (Not to mention a little trick dream scene that had me literally giving my kindle a one finger salute). This book was incredibly well written and researched, but I feel like a bit of a masochist having put myself through it. I definitely need some kind of light rom-com type palate cleanser after this. You REALLY need to appreciate an inordinate amount of angst to love this book. It was an amazing book that I just kind of hated-weird combo of emotions.
